Renovation of telecom provider office in Groningen

Office with an open character

The office of a major telecom provider in Groningen has undergone a complete transformation over the past year. Due to the outdated condition of the building, it was time for a thorough facelift. At the same time, this created an opportunity to more strongly reflect the organization’s identity and culture in the interior. The result is a future-proof working environment where functionality, aesthetics, and experience come together.

As hybrid working has become the norm, flexibility was a key focus of the redesign. The space needed to support different ways of working: focused individual tasks, team collaboration, and relaxation and enjoyment. Themes such as privacy, acoustics, and comfort played an important role, without compromising the open and transparent character of the office.

Yannick, Zwartwoud explains: “Openness and connection were central to the design of UP architecten. It had to be an office where people work hard, but also where there is room for relaxation and social interaction. We wanted that balance between focus and enjoyment to be tangible in every space.”
